Pyramid G1-a
G1-a is one of four subsidiary pyramids of the Giza Necropolis near the Great Pyramid of Giza, built during the Fifth dynasty of Egypt. It is the northernmost of the three pyramids of the queens and has a base of 49.5 meters wide and originally a height of 30.25 metres; the pyramid has lost two-thirds of its original height. In the west wall of the burial chamber a small niche was dug in which were found fragments of basalt. The burial is assigned to the first wife of Khufu, Queen Mérititès I, because of its proximity to the mastaba of his son Kaouab I.
